gonhntn Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Been through it myself. Time is the best medicine. Just know now, she is sitting in a field full of birds, paitiently waiting your arrival. So don't forget your bottle of scotch and your favorite shotgun. Gonhntn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucky2hunt Report post Posted February 2, 2010 I'm sorry! It's so hard to lose our pups.. "When one hunts with a friend, it hardly matters who kills the birds. It hardly matters whether birds are killed at all. One must do right by the birds, by one's partner, and by the dogs. Hunting is a path, a muddy, brushy, dank, and spoor-written path along which the seeker, if his spirit be right, can truly feel the earth. If he is fortunate, he travels with a true dog and a true friend." -Charles Fergus "A Rough-Shooting Dog," 1991 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Sorry to hear about your hunting partner. Its amazing how much those dogs can mean to us. I lost my Lab after 13 years of hunting together. Time is the only thing that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZMEATHUNTER Report post Posted February 2, 2010 thanks for all the kind words Abby and I had more quail-less "nature hikes" than anything.But we killed a fair share of birds over her.I have 3 adult GSP's that are top notch hunters but its going to be weird not being able to call on the old quail veteran AZMEAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
